When determining the CRAS, the parameters economic performance and institutional conditions are equally weighted. We employ a scoring approach that takes a wide range of quantitative and qualitative indicators into account, condensing these into a single meaningful indicator – the CRAS.Core indicators include per capita income, trend growth and volatility of gross domestic product in the case of economic performance, while institutional conditions are determined, among others, on the basis of the effectiveness and quality of economic policy, the predictability of the courts and the degree of corruption in a country. To assess these variables, we use historical data and forecasts on the future development of the respective indicators.The CRAS is updated every year in May and November.

The country risk scale

The CRAS is a continuous risk measure that can assume values between 1 and 10, corresponding to a specific risk situation. The risk scale (see below) allows a quick and intuitive assessment of the risk situation, which is divided into ten categories – from 1 (low risk) to 10 (high risk). The classes "stable risk situation" and "impaired risk situation" feature subcategories where a plus (+) or minus (-) allow further differentiation.
